Two sites I've been to today have changed the way I think about myself and how I think about other people. They show little entries that random people write. The two sites present two different things.
http://www.givesmehope.com/ is a website that shows little instances that people have in everyday life that gives them hope. The smallest act of kindness can change a life. It could be as simple as smiling to someone, or giving them a small compliment.
http://www.sixbillionsecrets.com/ is a website where people go and tell secrets. Not all of them are posted, just ones that are effective. The "Self-Esteem" section was the one I mainly focused on because I have self-esteem issues myself. There are so many girls on there who cut themselves, are anorexic, bulimic, or suicidal, and they think nobody cares about them. There are many who said that they just wish someone would notice. I admit that I cried reading some of the things on there.
Today I'm making decisions. I'm going to stop putting myself down all the time. I'm going to pay attention to the needs of people around me. I'm going to look for something beautiful in everyone. Because really, the world needs more teenagers like that.

Fooood!
So I feel totally weird now that I have 12 followers. O_o It's like I'm being watched. Oooh creepy!
ANYWAYS, there's a new poll that I came up with because I'm hungry right now and all I can think about is food. So vote please! :D I'm interested to know your answers!
That concludes this extremely boring post because Kirstin is lacking brain power.

Idols
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
What is the chief thing that most teenage girls talk about and think about today? Boys, without a doubt. God has been showing me many of the idols in my life, and one of them was boys, which is really stupid if you think about it.
Since then, my thought time invested in boys has been very scarce. I believe that if God has someone for me, he'll show me when the time is right. That's a comforting thought since I now know that I don't have to be constantly wondering "Is HE the one?" because I have confidence that God will reveal him to me when the time comes. I don't have to go through all the wrong ones to get to the right one. Until that time comes, God is more than enough for me. I'll enjoy the time I have with God without having any boys serving as a distraction. I don't mean that I'm going to never ever think of any guy friends that I have, but that I'm going to have them as friends and in my mind they are going to stay just friends, nothing more.
Another idol God has brought to my attention was facebook. Oh, the website that people can spent countless hours on, doing absolutely nothing of importance. I'm going on a facebook fast for this week, and even just after one day, I've realized how much time I spend on there. Ugh, Facebook shmacebook!
